Andrew Chen: Solves Unified Field Theorem for Bkfst, Whips Out "6 Steps to Startup Analytics" B4 Lunch.

Sometimes i like to brag i skipped 2 grades, never graduated from high school, and started college at Johns Hopkins when i was 16.  Then of course i meet folks like Andrew Chen who graduated when he was only 14 (think he started at 12), has helped create a very successful startup, was an entrepreneur-in-residence at MDV, and i realize... um, i ain't all that.

As further evidence of me playing Salieri to Andrew's Mozart (sans poisoning, tho i do lay claim to Patron Saint of Silicon Valley Mediocrity), i am compelled to point out Andrew's latest masterpiece "The First 6 Steps to Homegrowing Basic Startup Analytics". 

While i weakly hope my Startup Metrics for Pirates lays down some basic fundamentals, i do not even begin to delude myself my simple melody can approach Andrew's 16-part symphonic grandeur, with both strategy & tactics laid out in brilliant & comprehensive detail.

Andrew: You Da Man.

(btw, did i mention i recruited Andrew to speak at STARTonomics in San Francisco on October 2nd?  if you can't beat 'em... get 'em to join up :)

Been following these posts. Just saw a presentation yesterday at an Amazon event by some Matrix capital guys, they claim most businesses fail because their Cost Per Acquisition is higher than the Customer Lifetime Value and that those are the two biggest key metrics that a person needs to focus on. Yes, I realize they are directly/indirectly covered in your posts, but just adding some additional backing.
